[Image taken 29.5.23] Deangate, York. These racks are Sheffields - tick. They are well-placed for the city centre - tick. But they are of the toastrack design ie they have linking rails - you have to lift your cycle over them when entering … [more]

[Image taken 27.5.23] North Street, York. Flyparked Tri-1 (www.pashley.co.uk/products/tri-1) trike. Shows a need for cycle parking. And spaced such that a wider rig like this and/or a rider who needs more spaceto get on and off, can use it. … [more]
[Images taken 26.5.23] Deangate, York. The cycle with the trailer projects a minimum of 64cm further into the road than the others. (Compare with: #194419.) These racks are at the entrance to a nursery (Little Green Rascals … [more]
[Image taken 19.5.23] Providence House, University of York, Innovation Close, York Science Park, Heslington, York. [NOTE: No street view at this exact location.] I also struggled to get my bike in here. The racks are too close together. The … [more]

Some of the cycle parking is being used for trolley storage. Also has potential to block emergency exit route if trolley storage increases back to the levels seen in other image at #185089.
[Image taken 14.5.23] Asda, Monks Cross, Huntington / York. [NOTE: Location approximate. No street view at this exact location] There is cycle parking, and, when you get to it, there is a sign saying this is what it is/what the area is for. … [more]

Sale Trafford near Manchester. B&M store has NO cycle parking whatsoever. There's plenty of space to provide formal or informal bike stands.
St John's Church Chorlton . Massive tarmacked car park takes over the majority of space around the church . Yet there's NO space for cycles . Resorting to just leaning against the wall with nothing to secure to. This compares to the St … [more]
Workstand in the covered cycle parking area next to Bletchley railway station. The workstand had no tools and the pump head was missing.
The racks at this Premier Inn, Hinckley are mounted too close to the wall preventing secure parking. Also they are too close together. But at least they are close to the reception area.
[Image taken 30.4.23] Haxby and Wiggington Methodist Church, The Village, Haxby. Sheffield racks in use during the 2023 Scarecrow Festival (context and links: #193497). Users include a family sharing locks. But a driver has parked his/her … [more]
Cycle parking for railway staff, I think - but it doesn't work when there's a car parked right in front (you could try from the rear, but that doesn't work too well).
Cyclists don't want parking that doesn't support the frame - so the bikes are leaning against railings to the right.
[Image taken 9.4.23] Rowntree Park, off Terry Avenue, York. The owner of the adult cycle has had to (be strong enough to) lift it onto the retaining wall to be able to park here. The two cycles are secured with one lock - locksharing. A … [more]
[Image taken 9.4.23] York Minster Refectory, Deangate, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location]. Context: #192822. Other image today: #192841.
[Image taken 8.4.23] York Minster Refectory, Deangate, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] The end spaces on a run of racks can be invaluable: #165049. This is a wasted opportunity. It is too close to the wall on the left. You’d … [more]
[Image taken 8.4.23] York Minster Refectory, Deangate, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] Brand new provision for parking cycles. Easy to find, close to where you need it but… just 97cm apart. The clearly desperately needed York … [more]
[Image taken 8.4.23] York Minster Refectory, Deangate, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] Injudiciously spaced/placed Sheffield racks. The two end Sheffields could be removed and relocated. This would mean the now new end of the … [more]

[Image taken 8.4.23] York Minster Refectory, Deangate, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] An unsecured Babboe on one of the three rows of Sheffields (cycle parking). The nearest rack (see: #192825) is a wasted opportunity. If it … [more]
[Image taken 3.4.23] Rowntree Park, off Terry Avenue, York. These Sheffield racks are unusable - they are too close to the perpendicular structure. You can't wheel a cycle in far enough for it to be supported by the stand (see: #192841). … [more]
Cycle Parking would be great for families wishing to ride to school. Could be in the village hall car park as there's more space.
Dumbraveni station - thoroughly rebuilt, but without any cycle parking. It's about a kilometre from the town centre, ideal for jumping on a bike.
[Image taken 14.3.23] Priory Street Centre, Priory Street, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] The entrance (the blue doors in the corner) to the main hall available for hire. Disappointing: car parking spaces for staff/authorised … [more]
[Image taken 14.3.23] Priory Street Centre, Priory Street, York. Across the car park - danger, air pollution - there are sheltered cycle racks. Other image here today and links: #192083.
[Image taken 14.3.23] Priory Street Centre, Priory Street, York. The parking sign is very visible. However it does not tell people there is cycle parking. It does not support people to cycle. Adding a small P with a cycle symbol would be … [more]
Limited cycle parking at the Devonshire Dome (University of Derby) - only half of that shelter has Sheffield stands in it.
[Image taken 8.3.23] York. [I can’t see the name of this access route.. It’s behind Supersonic Fitness and Co-op, parallel to Stonebow.] Is this intended as cycle parking?
Latahm Road A heavy industrial estate in north Huntingdon Great to see space for a cycle park, but awful wheelbender racks, and not covered.
Trafford near Manchester. Sale Water Park 5 cycle lockers. Also there are 5 cycle stands adjacent. Why no dropped kerb for cycles wanting to access from or to the road ? There is nothing within the lockers to lock the bike frame to. One … [more]
Fenced-off cycle stands at the former Bakewell station, on the Monsal Trail (NCN route 680) - I think the stonework needs repairing.
Not a lot of cycle parking at the rear of Derby station - and why can't we have normal Sheffield stands?
[Image taken 18.2.23] York St John University, off Clarence Street, York. [NOTE: No street view at this location] Covered racks intended to support biodiversity. I’m not convinced they do the same for humans. For a discussion of the … [more]
[Image taken 17.2.23] York St John University, off Clarence Street, York. The racks are too proscriptive. The front wheel of this e-cycle is too small to fit into the supports. Look how high you have to lift a cycle in - and out again. Even … [more]
[Image taken 17.2.23] York St John University, off Clarence Street, York. Uncovered version of the racks to the right. No-one has noticed a couple of racks are obstructed by what looks like a broken Aboard. Note the clear waymarking signage … [more]
[Image taken 13.2.23] Waitrose, Foss Islands Road, York. The problem is that the gap between the racks and the white line of bay 3 of the 'car park collect service' looks like a car parking space. And, as the person who was parked in it … [more]
[Image taken 13.2.23] Waitrose, Foss Islands Road, York. Access to the cycle parking is obstructed. The gap is 140cm. However, to avoid making contact with anything let alone something you could damage you’d leave at least 25cm either side, … [more]
[Image taken 13.2.23] Waitrose, Foss Islands Road, York. A sign alerting people there is cycle parking here is needed. There are no clues there is any at all. Yet there’s that blank wall visible from afar… Here’s how local branches of … [more]
They've increased the disabled parking at The Hole in the Wall, but there are no actual cycle stands.
[Image taken 11.2.23] Micklegate, York. The buildouts with the Sheffield racks look like a sop... They facilitate car parking. What if the arrangement were reversed? Two spaces off-road for motor vehicles and all the onstreet spaces for … [more]
[Image taken 11.2.23] Micklegate, York. The six Sheffields (see: #177267) have been reduced to four. So four fewer spaces to secure a cycle. Yet Micklegate needs more formal racks not fewer. Other image this subject today: #190980. Other … [more]
[Image taken 6.2.23] St Andrewgate, York. The space has invited people to dump rubbish here. Doesn't make this location look good or feel safe. Including to leave a cycle right next to. Could it be marked with a symbol of a cargo or family … [more]
[Image taken 6.2.23] St Andrewgate close to the junction with Colliergate, York. Badly sited rack. Too close to everything. So the owner of this cycle has had to secure it at an angle. It's not supported as it should be rather it's wedged. … [more]
[Image taken 4.2.23] Esplanade cycle parking, West Esplanade/Wellington Row (below Lendal Bridge), York. These toast rack Sheffields (see also: #190736) are broken. The last support has been removed. But this leaves a substantial trip … [more]
So much new traffic-free space, and this is more or less all the new cycle parking for Somerset House - more is needed!
Saw this on a local Facebook site (not my photo). Bike hangar broken into in order to steal bikes. Denmark Road, Carshalton. https://t.co/STHH3pCygl
[Image taken 27.1.23] Brunch, Auster Road, Clifton Moor, York. [NOTE: No streetview at this location] Wheelbenders and Tier hire e-cycles and e-scooters. Location: #190175. Tier overview: #190175.
Astonishing - there's a large car park but no cycle parking at all for Red Cross first aid courses at Lothbury House.
Not so much 'No Parking' as not enough cycle parking in the right places. Also, it was installed too close to the wall.
Not a good area to park a bike - 4 frames stripped of parts, and no-one actually daring to leave a bike.
[Image taken 12.1.23] York Theatre Royal, St Leonard’s Place, York. A 'York' cycle ie a design that is bespoke and/or adapted for carrying people and/or making utility trips. But it is locked only to itself - using the integral nurse's … [more]
[Image taken 11.1.23] Clifton Moor Retail Park - the area with Dunelm at one end and Tenpin at the other, Stirling Road, York. The bollards are too close to the racks. 140cm is insufficient space even for a standard cycle. When reversing … [more]
Judging by the street view images these rows were bent between April and September 2021 - and so have been like this for at least 15 months: April 2021 … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Tang Hall Lane, York. Capricorn Nails. The website looks professional and smart: www.capricornnailshealthbeauty.co.uk/ The area much less so. There are posts but no cycle parking. The posts could be replaced with … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Tang Hall Lane, York. Buffalo Pizza (www.buffalopizzayork.co.uk/) and Hair Flicks (no website). Damaged surfaces on the routes to and from the premises. An advertising trike but no cycle parking. Cynical marketing. … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Tang Hall Lane, York. Bollards but no cycle parking. Fractured concrete - surely unsafe for some of their customers. Context and links: #188689.
[Image taken 10.12.22] Tang Hall Lane junction with Lang Avenue, York. Rocks not racks. Why use defensive objects that are completely out of place and have no useful purpose? The rocks were not here in July 2019 according to street view … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Co-op, 143-145 Tang Hall Lane, York. The racks need to be sufficiently far back from a vertical structure 'ahead'/ in front of the supports that you can roll your cycle in far enough for the uprights to support it. … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Co-op, 143-145 Tang Hall Lane, York. Context and links: #188684. The minimum recommended distance between uprights (and therefore also any vertical structure to the side of cycle parking) is 100cm. The recommended … [more]
[Image taken 10.12.22] Co-op, 143-145 Tang Hall Lane, York. Positive: the sign that makes it clear this is cycle parking. This 'toast rack' is just wide enough to accommodate two 'bare bones' cycles - ie without luggage, child seats, … [more]
